Could Bush-Kerry Fight Hurt Republicans (MSM Desperation!!)

There’s no fight like an old fight. And this week’s emotional exchanges between President George W. Bush and Sen. John Kerry were nothing if not old. Kerry screwed up what he called a “botched joke” about Bush’s brainpower when it comes to Iraq; Bush pounced by challenging his ex-rival’s commitment to the troops.
Memo to Bush and Kerry: neither of you are on the ballot next week. And while it may be satisfying to rehash the last election, you both run the risk of looking totally out of touch.
The risks for President Bush are greater than they are for Senator Kerry, who may have suffered the deep embarrassment of falling into a familiar self-made trap. But he leads nothing inside his party, sets no strategy and the Democrats can easily disown him—as several candidates have done by canceling events with him this week.

Last time I checked, a fight between Bush and Kerry ended up with Kerry on the floor.

MSM campaigning for Dems, what's new?
To: truthandlife
That is felony attempted spin. It's not even good spin.
BTW, ya think it's a coincidence that MSNBC, CNN and Kerry all feature the word 'broken' when referring to US policy?
There is no bias ....

Kerry screwed up what he called a “botched joke” about Bush’s brainpower when it comes to IraqSure he did. The obvious insult to the troops was really a "nuance" that the rest of the country missed as a joke about Bush.
There is such blatant spin going on amongst the talking heads that it is laughable.

He may set no strategy, but the silence from those in the Dem Party who do speaks loudly that Kerry's sentiments are their's.

Stupid analysis.
The RAT base is already fired up and ready to vote. The war between Bush and Kerry is designed to fire up the GOP base so they will vote and to convince some wavering Indies that the RATs cannot be trusted.
It won't change a lot of minds, but we are in so many close races that changing just a few could push us over the top.

If that were true, they'd sit back, say nothing, and hope for Bush to crash and burn.

No, President Bush isn't on the ballot. But the dims sure have been running against him for the whole darn campaign season.
